Obituary

Mrs. Anna Ihle was born on Nov. 1, 1870 in Morris, Ill. and passed away at her home on Dec. 14 at the age of 87 years, 1 month and 14 days.

Her parents were Torres and Britta Ryen. They located near Slater in the 70's and here she grew to womanhood. She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith.

On Mar. 10, 1893 she was married to John Ryen, who passed away in August, 1898. They were the parents of one child, Cora.

In January, 1901 she was married to John Ihle. They established their home on the farm where they have lived ever since and here they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in January, 1951.

Mr. Ihle passed away on Mar. 15, 1952.

They were the parents of four children: Mrs. Mabel Ihle Lein, who passed away on Mar. 15, 1902; Mrs. James (Theresa) Larson of Ames; Joseph of Williams, Ia.; Amos, on the home farm; and Cora, at home. Other survivors include 18 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs. Bertha Gandrup of Story City and Mrs. Tena Ihle of Slater; and many nieces and nephews.

Among those preceding her in death were her parents; a brother, Peter Ryan; a sister, Mrs. Rachel Rimathe; and two brothers who passed away in infancy.

She was a faithful member of the Bethlehem congregation and Ladies Aid until her health began to fail. She suffered a light stroke, causing her to fail in her home. She was hospitalized with a broken hip. As a result she has been a wheel chair patient for more than two years.

Mrs. Ihle was a sincere Christian wife, mother and friend to all her associates. She will be greatly missed by many relatives and friends and especially by her children who have given her such loving care. Blessed be her memory.
